To celebrate the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants in August 2019, Nickelodeon teamed up with Nike to honor Kyrie Irving's love of the cult cartoon. This 'Squidward' version symbolizes the surly octopus in 'Ice Spruce' mesh with a matching lace cover. His typical callous expression is found on the insole. The lollipop on the midsole and rubber outsole is emblematic of the fictional character's everyday outfit.
